If you kicked yourself for missing it the first time around, act fast and go grab the Swype Beta software for Android, which is once again open for a limited time, Swype
announced
in a forum post.

This is actually a new version of Swype, so even if you're already participating in the beta program, you may want to snag the latest release. Now in version 2.15.56.14870, this latest release adds a new Double-Tap-to-Edit mode, in which a user can tap a word twice to bring up the word choice window, as well as other feature enhancements and bug fixes.

Swype doesn't open its beta very often, so if you're even remotely interested in seeing what all the fuss is about, start clicking:
